It contains Dabigatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor, which works by preventing the formation of harmful blood clots. Dabistar 110 Capsule is commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). This medication is effective in preventing clot formation and enhancing cardiovascular health.

Uses of Dabistar 110 Capsule

How Dabistar 110 Capsule Works
